Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Fensteranordnung an einem Druckrohr, vorzugsweise zum Vulkanisieren oder Vernetzen von Umhüllungen von elektrischen Kabeln nach Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a window assembly on a pressure tube, preferably for vulcanizing or crosslinking of sheaths of electrical cables according to claim 1.

Bei der Herstellung von Kabeln wird der Kabelmantel mit Hilfe eines Extruders auf die Kabelseele extrudiert. Durch Vernetzung des aus Kunststoff bestehenden Kabelmantels wird die plastische Masse elastisch gemacht. Die Vernetzung bzw. Vulkanisation des Kunststoffs findet in einem Druckrohr statt, in dem relativ hohe Temperaturen und ein erheblicher Überdruck herrschen, z.B. Temperaturen bis zu 550°C und Drücke bis zu 30 bar.In the manufacture of cables, the cable sheath is extruded onto the cable core by means of an extruder. By networking the cable sheath made of plastic, the plastic mass is made elastic. The crosslinking or vulcanization of the plastic takes place in a pressure tube in which relatively high temperatures and a considerable overpressure prevail, e.g. Temperatures up to 550 ° C and pressures up to 30 bar.

Es ist bekannt, den Durchmesser einer Kabelummantelung und/oder die Dicke von einzelnen Schichten der Kabelummantelung mit Hilfe einer Röntgenmessvorrichtung zu bestimmen. Die Röntgenmessvorrichtung weist eine Röntgenstrahlungsquelle und einen röntgenstrahlungsempfindlichen Empfänger auf. Letzerer ist z.B. aus einzelnen röntgenstrahlungsempfindlichen Elementen aufgebaut, die seriell abgetastet werden.It is known to determine the diameter of a cable sheath and / or the thickness of individual layers of the cable sheath using an X-ray measuring device. The X-ray measuring device has an X-ray source and an X-ray sensitive receiver. The latter is e.g. composed of individual X-ray sensitive elements, which are scanned serially.

Soll eine Wanddicken- und/oder Durchmesserbestimmung eines Kabels während seines Durchlaufes im Druckrohr bestimmt werden, ist die Röntgenmessvorrichtung im Zuge des Druckrohrs anzuordnen. Es ist bekannt, hierzu separate Gehäuse zu verwenden, die zu diametral gegenüberliegenden Durchgängen im Druckrohr ausgerichtet sind, durch welche sich die Messebene der Röntgenmessvorrichtung senkrecht zur Längsachse des Druckrohrs erstreckt. Die Durchgänge werden von einer Fensterplatte dicht verschlossen, die für Röntgenstrahlung gut durchlässig ist.If a wall thickness and / or diameter determination of a cable is to be determined during its passage in the pressure tube, the X-ray measuring device is to be arranged in the course of the pressure tube. It is known to use this purpose separate housing, which are aligned to diametrically opposed passages in the pressure tube through which the Measuring level of the X-ray measuring device extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pressure tube. The passages are sealed by a window plate, which is well-permeable to X-rays.

Es ist bekannt, dünne Fensterplatten aus Beryllium vorzusehen. Beryllium hat von den Metallen bei gleichen Festigkeitskennwerten die geringste Absorption von Röntgenstrahlung. Die Berylliumplatten werden zusammen mit einer Flachdichtung gegen einen Absatz im Durchgang festgelegt, und zwar von einem Vorsprung eines sogenannten T-Flansches, der außen am Gehäuse durch Verschraubung befestigt ist. Mit Hilfe des T-Flansches wird die Berylliumplatte über die Dichtung unter hohem Druck an eine Durchgangsschulter angepresst.It is known to provide thin window plates of beryllium. Beryllium has the lowest absorption of X-rays of the metals with the same strength characteristics. The beryllium plates are fixed together with a flat gasket against a shoulder in the passage of a projection of a so-called T-flange, which is externally attached to the housing by screwing. With the aid of the T-flange, the beryllium plate is pressed against the gasket under high pressure against a passage shoulder.

Beryllium gilt als hoch toxisch, und Berylliumstaub ist krebserregend. Aus diesem Grunde und zur Verbesserung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit der Berylliumplatten werden diese z.B. mit einer keramischen Schicht belegt. Während des Betriebs im Druckrohr sammelt sich Kondensat im unteren Bereich des Berylliumfensters und bewirkt mit schwefel- und chlorhaltigen Bestandteilen eine Korrosion des Berylliums. Krebserregende Berylliumpartikel können in den Bedienungsbereich gelangen, wenn Berylliumplatten durch Korrosionsdruck durchlässig werden und dadurch in die Umgebungsluft geschleudert werden. Keramische und auch metallische Beschichtungen der Berylliumplatte zur Korrosionsvermeidung haben sich aufgrund zu geringer Schichtdichten nur als bedingt wirksam erwiesen.Beryllium is considered highly toxic and beryllium dust is carcinogenic. For this reason and to improve the corrosion resistance of Berylliumplatten these are covered, for example, with a ceramic layer. During operation in the pressure pipe, condensate collects in the lower part of the beryllium window and causes corrosion of the beryllium with components containing sulfur and chlorine. Carcinogenic beryllium particles can enter the operating area if beryllium plates become permeable to corrosion pressure and are thrown into the ambient air. Ceramic and also metallic coatings of the beryllium plate for corrosion prevention have proved to be only partially effective due to low layer densities.

Es ist auch bekannt, zu Korrosionsschutzzwecken eine Schutzfolie vor der Berylliumplatte anzuordnen. Diese kann ebenso wie eine Beschichtung bei der Entfernung von festen Rückständen, die sich auf der Berylliumplatte niedergeschlagen haben, beschädigt werden.It is also known to place a protective film in front of the beryllium plate for corrosion protection purposes. This can be damaged as well as a coating in the removal of solid residues that have been deposited on the beryllium plate.

Schließlich ist bei der herkömmlichen Anordnung von Berylliumplatten nach erfolgter Montage eine aufwendige Überprüfung der Lage der Dichtungen erforderlich, besonders um ein Leck zu vermeiden, weil in solchen Fällen Beryllium-Staubpartikel in die Umgebungsluft gelangen.Finally, in the conventional arrangement of beryllium plates after assembly, a complex review of the position of the seals is required, especially to avoid a leak, because in such cases beryllium dust particles get into the ambient air.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fensteranordnung an einem Druckrohr, vorzugsweise zum Vulkanisieren oder Vernetzen von Umhüllungen von elektrischen Kabeln, zu schaffen, welche weniger anfällig für Korrosion ist und einen Abfluss des Kondensats ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a window assembly on a pressure tube, preferably for vulcanizing or crosslinking of sheaths of electrical cables, which is less prone to corrosion and allows drainage of the condensate.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

Die Erfindung sorgt für eine Kondensation der Gasatmosphäre an der Fensterplatte. Diese ist so angeordnet, dass das Kondensat ungehindert abfließen kann und dabei Schmutzpartikel mitreißt. Das schmutzbehaftete Kondensat fließt in das Druckrohr. Dieser Selbstreinigungseffekt reduziert die Korrosion der Fensterplatte und erhöht deren Standzeit.The invention provides for a condensation of the gas atmosphere on the window plate. This is arranged so that the condensate can flow away unhindered and entrains dirt particles. The dirt-laden condensate flows into the pressure pipe. This self-cleaning effect reduces the corrosion of the window plate and increases its service life.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Fensteranordnung ist die Fensterplatte vorzugsweise aus keramischem Werkstoff geformt. Keramischer Werkstoff ist bekanntlich korrosionsbeständig. Außerdem ist Keramik physiologisch unbedenklich. Eine zusätzliche Beschichtung als Korrosionsschutz entfällt. Feste Ablagerungen können von einer Fensterplatte aus Keramik leicht entfernt werden, ohne die Fensterplatte in ihrer Funktion zu beinträchtigen.In the window assembly according to the invention, the window plate is preferably formed of ceramic material. Ceramic material is known to be corrosion resistant. In addition, ceramic is physiological harmless. An additional coating as corrosion protection is eliminated. Solid deposits can be easily removed from a ceramic window plate without affecting the function of the window plate.

Keramik hat zwar eine geringere Transmissionsfähigkeit für Röntgenstrahlung als Beryllium, die höhere Dämpfung kann jedoch durch eine Anhebung des Röntgenstroms oder der Röntgenenergie kompensiert werden.Although ceramic has a lower transmissivity for X-radiation than beryllium, the higher attenuation can be compensated by increasing the X-ray current or the X-ray energy.

Alternativ können auch Titan, Kunststoff, kohlefaserverstärkter Kunststoff oder eine Kombination dieser Materialien verwendet werden. Besonders bevorzugt ist PEEK (Polyetheretherketon). Kunststoffe vertragen relativ hohe Temperaturen, z. B. 250°C, sind dann aber nicht mehr druckbeständig. Eine erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung sieht daher vor, den Kunststoff mit einer Metallfolie, vorzugsweise Titanfolie, auf der Innenseite zu beschichten.Alternatively, titanium, plastic, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or a combination of these materials may also be used. Particularly preferred is PEEK (polyetheretherketone). Plastics tolerate relatively high temperatures, eg. B. 250 ° C, but then no longer pressure resistant. An embodiment of the invention therefore provides to coat the plastic with a metal foil, preferably titanium foil, on the inside.

Durch die Beschichtung werden eine verbesserte Wärmeableitung, eine Reflexion der Wärmestrahlung aus dem heißen Schutzgas (bis 400° C) und wegen der blanken Oberfläche eine Selbstreinigungsgewährleistung erzielt. Wegen seiner glatten Oberfläche lässt sich das Fenster leichter reinigen. Das erfindungsgemäße Fenster ist ungiftig, mechanisch stabil und chemisch beständig. Die genannten Eigenschaften führen zu einer langen Standzeit.The coating achieves an improved heat dissipation, a reflection of the heat radiation from the hot shielding gas (up to 400 ° C.) and, due to the bright surface, a self-cleaning guarantee. Its smooth surface makes the window easier to clean. The window according to the invention is non-toxic, mechanically stable and chemically resistant. The properties mentioned lead to a long service life.

Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt die Fensterplatte auf der drucklosen Seite gegen eine Ringdichtung, zum Beispiel einen O-Ring, an. Die Anbringung der Fensterplatte kann derart sein, dass diese mit einer gewissen Vorspannung gegen die Dichtung anliegt. Mit wachsendem Druck im Druckrohr wird die Fensterplatte stärker gegen den Dichtring angelegt. Diese Maßnahme erlaubt eine gleichmäßige Verteilung der Kräfte, die auf die Fensterplatte und die Dichtung wirken. Eine Fensterplatte aus sprödem Material, wie zum Beispiel Keramik, wird daher nicht unzulässig belastet.According to one embodiment of the invention, the window plate is located on the non-pressurized side against a ring seal, for example, an O-ring on. The attachment of the window plate may be such that this with a certain bias against the seal is applied. With increasing pressure in the pressure tube, the window plate is more strongly applied against the sealing ring. This measure allows a uniform distribution of the forces acting on the window plate and the seal. A window plate made of brittle material, such as ceramic, is therefore not unduly burdened.

Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Fensterplatte von seitlichen Halterungen gehalten, welche nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung von länglichen Klammern gebildet werden können, die ihrerseits durch die Seitenwände des Durchgangs bzw. des Druckrohrs fixiert sind. Die Klammern sind vorzugsweise U-förmig und legen sich mit einem Schenkel gegen die Druckrohrseite der Fensterplatte an, und mit dem anderen Schenkel greifen sie in eine druckrohrfeste Ausnehmung ein, um die Fixierung der Fensterplatte zu bewerkstelligen. Die Schenkel erstrecken sich dabei annähernd über die Länge der Fensterplatte und bedecken einen Teil ihrer Fläche. Der zwischen den Schenkeln liegende Flächenabschnitt ist jedoch ausreichend groß, um den Durchtritt von Röntgenstrahlung zu ermöglichen.According to another embodiment of the invention, the window plate is held by lateral brackets, which can be formed according to a further embodiment of the invention of elongated brackets, which in turn are fixed by the side walls of the passage or the pressure tube. The brackets are preferably U-shaped and lie with one leg against the pressure tube side of the window plate, and with the other leg they engage in a pressure tube fixed recess to accomplish the fixation of the window plate. The legs extend approximately over the length of the window plate and cover part of its surface. However, the area between the legs surface portion is sufficiently large to allow the passage of X-rays.

Die Anbringung der Fensterplatte ist darüber hinaus derart, dass an der Fensterplatte abfließendes Kondensat im Bereich der Halterung an dieser vorbeifließen kann zurück in das Druckrohr, ohne dass es sich an einer bestimmten Stelle ansammelt und die Fensterplatte beeinträchtigt.The attachment of the window plate is also such that on the window plate effluent condensate in the region of the holder can flow past this back into the pressure tube without it accumulates at a certain point and affects the window plate.

Um die Wärmebeeinträchtigung des Fensters, insbesondere im Bereich des unteren Fensters zu reduzieren und insbesondere die Kondensation zu erleichtern, sieht eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vor, dass der Fensteranordnung mindestens ein Kühlkanal zugeordnet ist für den Durchfluss von Kühlmittel, z.B. Wasser. Wenn ein sogenannter T-Flansch verwendet wird, gegen den die Fensterplatte anliegt, ist es vorteilhaft, diesen von einem ringförmigen Körper zu umgeben, in dem ein Kühlkanal geformt ist.In order to reduce the thermal degradation of the window, in particular in the area of the lower window and in particular the condensation to facilitate, provides an embodiment of the invention that the window assembly is assigned at least one cooling channel for the flow of coolant, for example water. If a so-called T-flange is used, against which the window plate rests, it is advantageous to surround it by an annular body in which a cooling channel is formed.

However, the pressure pipe section 10 can also be provided as an independent section, which is flanged into the train of the relatively long pressure tube.

Der Druckrohrabschnitt 10 weist diametral gegenüberliegend radial nach außen gerichtete Flansche 11 bzw. 12 auf, welche einen im Querschnitt annähernd schlitzförmigen Durchgang 14 bzw. 15 bilden. Die Ausbildung der Flansche 11, 12 bzw. die weiteren Teile, die den Durchgängen 14 bzw. 15 zugeordnet sind, gehen deutlicher aus den Figuren 6 und 7 hervor. In Fig. 7 ist ein Flanschkörper 34 zu erkennen mit einem äußeren Flansch 32, der mit Hilfe von Schrauben 33 außen gegen die Wandung des Druckrohrabschnitts 10 verschraubt ist. Der Druckrohrabschnitt 10 ist, wie insbesondere in Fig. 3 zu erkennen, in diesem Bereich durch eine Verdickung 37 nach innen verstärkt. Wenn vor und nachstehend "innen" und "außen" erwähnt wird, bezieht sich dies auf das Druckrohr, d.h. auf sein Inneres bzw. Äußeres. Der Flanschkörper 34 weist einen Hülsenabschnitt 30a auf, der in den Durchgang 15 eingeführt ist. Der Umfang des senkrecht zur Zeichenebene länglichen Hülsenabschnitts 30a ist entsprechend dem Querschnitt des Durchgangs 15 geformt und länglich, wobei zwischen der Außenseite des Hülsenabschnitts 30a und der Wandung des Durchgangs 15 ein Spalt freigelassen ist. Zwischen dem Flansch 32 und der Außenseite des Druckrohrs 10 ist eine Dichtung 31 eingefügt.The pressure pipe section 10 has diametrically opposite radially outwardly directed flanges 11 and 12, which form an approximately slot-shaped passage 14 or 15 in cross section. The formation of the flanges 11, 12 and the other parts, which are associated with the passages 14 and 15, go more clearly from the FIGS. 6 and 7 out. In Fig. 7 is a flange 34 can be seen with an outer flange 32 which is screwed by means of screws 33 outside against the wall of the pressure pipe section 10. The pressure pipe section 10 is, as in particular in Fig. 3 to be recognized in this area by a thickening 37 reinforced inside. If "inside" and "outside" are mentioned before and below, this refers to the pressure tube, ie to its interior or exterior. The flange body 34 has a sleeve portion 30 a, which is inserted into the passage 15. The circumference of the elongate sleeve portion 30a, which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, is shaped and elongate according to the cross section of the passage 15, leaving a gap between the outside of the sleeve portion 30a and the wall of the passage 15. Between the flange 32 and the outside of the pressure tube 10, a seal 31 is inserted.

Flansch 32 mit Hülsenabschnitt 30a bilden eine durchgehende im Querschnitt schlitzförmige Passage 39.Flange 32 with sleeve portion 30a form a continuous cross-sectionally slot-shaped passage 39th

Gegen das freie Ende des Hülsenabschnitts 30a ist eine Fensterplatte 20 aus Keramik oder Kunststoff gelegt. In einer Ringausnehmung an der Stirnseite des Hülsenabschnitts 30a ist ein O-Ring 24 eingelassen, der im entspannten Zustand etwas über die Stirseite des Hülsenabschnitts 30a übersteht. Die Fensterplatte 20 wird mit Hilfe von zwei länglichen, im Querschnitt U-förmigen Klammern 26, 28 gegen das freie Ende des Hülsenabschnitts 30a angedrückt und an diesem an Ort und Stelle gehalten, wobei der O-Ring 24 unter geringe Vorspannung gesetzt ist. Der eine innere Schenkel 29 der Klammern 26, 28 liegt in Fig. 6 versenkt in einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung der Fensterplatte 20. Der Schenkel 29 ist daher bündig mit der Außenseite der Fensterplatte 20, welche dem Inneren des Druckrohrs 10 zugekehrt ist. Der andere Schenkel 27 greift in eine Ausnehmung 33 an der Außenseite des Hülsenabschnitts 30a, um die Fensterplatte 20 festzulegen. Der Schenkel 27 ist etwas in Richtung des anderen Schenkels 29 gebogen, um ein Drehmoment in Richtung Fensterplatte 20 zu bewirken. Der Steg der U-Klammern 26, 28 erstreckt sich im Spalt zwischen der Wandung des Durchgangs 15 und der Außenseite des Hülsenabschnitts 30a.Against the free end of the sleeve portion 30a, a window plate 20 made of ceramic or plastic is placed. In an annular recess on the front side of the sleeve portion 30a, an O-ring 24 is inserted, which projects somewhat beyond the thrust side of the sleeve portion 30a in the relaxed state. The window plate 20 is pressed by means of two elongated, in cross section U-shaped brackets 26, 28 against the free end of the sleeve portion 30a and held in place with the O-ring 24 is set under slight bias. The one inner leg 29 of the brackets 26, 28 lies in Fig. 6 sunk in a corresponding recess of the window plate 20. The leg 29 is therefore flush with the outside of the window plate 20, which faces the interior of the pressure tube 10. The other leg 27 engages in a recess 33 on the Outside of the sleeve portion 30 a, to set the window plate 20. The leg 27 is slightly bent in the direction of the other leg 29 to cause a torque in the direction of the window plate 20. The web of the U-brackets 26, 28 extends in the gap between the wall of the passage 15 and the outside of the sleeve portion 30 a.

Sich im Druckrohr 10 bildendes Kondensat kann, wie in Fig. 1 durch Pfeil 17 angedeutet fließen. Das Druckrohr hat ein Gefälle α (Fig. 1). Außerdem fließt es gemäß Pfeil 25 in Fig. 2. Dies ist bedingt durch die Schräganordnung der Fensterplatte 20 (Fig. 2 oder 6). In den Figuren 6 und 7 ist daher zu erkennen, dass sich an der Fensterplatte 20 absetzendes Kondensat von links nach rechts abfließen kann, ohne durch Vorkehrungen der Befestigung der Fensterplatte 20 gehindert zu sein. Das Kondensat fließt unmittelbar in das Innere des Druckrohrs 10 zurück.In the pressure tube 10 forming condensate can, as in Fig. 1 indicated by arrow 17 flow. The pressure tube has a gradient α ( Fig. 1 ). In addition, it flows in accordance with arrow 25 in Fig. 2 , This is due to the oblique arrangement of the window plate 20 (FIG. Fig. 2 or 6 ). In the FIGS. 6 and 7 Therefore, it can be seen that condensate settling on the window plate 20 can flow away from left to right without being hindered by provisions for fixing the window plate 20. The condensate flows directly back into the interior of the pressure tube 10.

Die Anordnung der Fensterplatte 20 kann derart sein, dass die Temperaturen stets unter dem Taupunkt der Gasatmosphäre im Druckrohr 10 liegen. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, geeignete Kühlvorkehrungen vorzusehen, damit die Temperatur einer Fensterplatte 20 stets unter dem Taupunkt liegt.The arrangement of the window plate 20 may be such that the temperatures are always below the dew point of the gas atmosphere in the pressure tube 10. However, it is also conceivable to provide suitable cooling arrangements, so that the temperature of a window plate 20 is always below the dew point.

In Fig. 4 ist gut die Form der Fensterplatte 20 und die Ausdehnung der Schenkel 29 der Federn 26, 28 zu erkennen. Die Federn sind aus einem geeigneten federnden Flachmaterial geformt. Die Schenkel 29 erstrecken sich über einen großen Teil der Länge der Fensterplatte 20, haben jedoch zwischen sich einen ausreichenden Abstand, um den Durchgang von Röntgenstrahlung zu gewährleisten. Hierzu ist anzumerken, dass den Flanschen 11, 12 geeignete Vorkehrungen zugeordnet werden für die Durchstrahlung des Inneren des Druckrohrs 10 mit einer Röntgenstrahlung und zum Empfang der Röntgenstrahlung mit einer geeigneten Röntgenempfangsvorrichtung (nicht gezeigt). Diese Röntgenanordnung dient, wie an sich bekannt, zur Vermessung der Ummantelung von elektrischen Kabeln, welche im Druckrohrvernetzt werden. Dies ist jedoch im Einzelnen nicht dargestellt.In Fig. 4 is good to see the shape of the window plate 20 and the extension of the legs 29 of the springs 26, 28. The springs are molded from a suitable resilient sheet. The legs 29 extend over a large part of the length of the window plate 20, but have between them a sufficient distance to ensure the passage of X-radiation. It should be noted that the flanges 11, 12 suitable Arrangements are assigned for the irradiation of the interior of the pressure tube 10 with an X-ray and for receiving the X-ray radiation with a suitable X-ray receiving device (not shown). As is known per se, this X-ray arrangement serves to measure the sheathing of electrical cables which are crosslinked in the pressure tube. However, this is not shown in detail.

In Fig. 9 ist die Einzelheit 9 nach Fig. 3 dargestellt. Man erkennt eine Fensterplatte 18 nach dem Stand der Technik, die in eine Ausnehmung des Flansches 11 eingesetzt ist unter Zwischenschaltung einer Dichtung oder eines Dichtrings 37. Die Fensterplatte 18 wird mit Hilfe eines Flansches 22 gegen den Flansch 11 angepresst. Der Flansch 22 wird mit Hilfe von Schrauben 39 am Flansch 11 angeschraubt. Die Fensterplatte kann jedoch ebenfalls aus Kunststoff, etwa aus PEEK, sein, die mit einer Titanfolie beschichtet ist, um die oben erwähnten Vorteile zu erzielen.In Fig. 9 is the detail 9 after Fig. 3 shown. It can be seen a window plate 18 according to the prior art, which is inserted into a recess of the flange 11 with the interposition of a seal or a sealing ring 37. The window plate 18 is pressed by means of a flange 22 against the flange 11. The flange 22 is screwed by means of screws 39 on the flange 11. However, the window plate can also be made of plastic, such as PEEK, which is coated with a titanium foil to achieve the advantages mentioned above.

In Fig. 6 weist die Verdickung 37 auf der in Produktionsrichtung 17 vorne liegenden Seite des Durchgangs 15 einen Abschnitt 50 auf, der weiter in das Druckrohr 10 ragt als die Fensterplatte 20. Sollte ein Kabel nach unten durchhängen, wird dadurch verhindert, dass es mit der Fensterplatte 20 in Berührung kommt. In Fig. 7 wird die Fensterplatte 20 zusätzlich von den Klammern 26, 28 geschützt.In Fig. 6 the thickening 37 on the front in the direction of production 17 side of the passage 15 has a portion 50 which projects further into the pressure tube 10 than the window plate 20. Should a cable sag down, is prevented by it with the window plate 20 in Touch comes. In Fig. 7 the window plate 20 is additionally protected by the brackets 26, 28.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine untere Fensteranordnung in der Position von Fig. 2 nach dem Stand der Technik mit einem Flanschkörper 34a, der in einer innen liegenden Ausnehmung eine Fensterplatte aus Beryllium aufnimmt, die über eine Dichtung 24a gegen Schulter und Durchgang 15a gepresst wird. Fig. 8 shows a lower window assembly in the position of Fig. 2 in the prior art with a flange 34a, which in an internal Recess accommodates a window plate made of beryllium, which is pressed by a seal 24a against the shoulder and passage 15a.

In Figur 10 ist die Fensterplatte 20 im Schnitt dargestellt. Sie besteht aus einer länglichen Scheibe 60 aus Kunststoff, insbesondere PEEK, die auf der Innenseite mit einer Titanfolie 62 beschichtet ist. Die Titanfolie 62 ist dem Innern des Druckrohrs zugekehrt, bewirkt daher eine Wärmeableitung sowie eine Reflexion der Wärmestrahlung, die durch das Schutzgas im Druckrohr bewirkt wird. Die blanke Oberfläche der Titanfolie 62 ermöglicht einen Selbstreinigungseffekt und lässt sich außerdem leicht reinigen. Eine Fensterplatte, wie in Figur 10 dargestellt, kann auch für die obere Fensteranordnung, wie sie in den Figuren 2 und 3 bzw. 9 dargestellt ist, verwendet werden.In FIG. 10 the window plate 20 is shown in section. It consists of an elongated disc 60 made of plastic, in particular PEEK, which is coated on the inside with a titanium foil 62. The titanium foil 62 faces the interior of the pressure tube, thus causing a heat dissipation and a reflection of the heat radiation, which is caused by the protective gas in the pressure tube. The bare surface of the titanium foil 62 allows a self-cleaning effect and is also easy to clean. A window plate, as in FIG. 10 can also be used for the upper window arrangement, as in the FIGS. 2 and 3 9 and 9, respectively.

In Figur 11 ist der hülsenförmige Abschnitt des Flanschkörpers 34 von einem der Ringkörper 64 umgeben, der in geeigneter Weise (nicht dargestellt) mit dem Druckrohr verbunden ist. Der Ringkörper 64 steht, wie in Figur 11 deutlich zu erkennen, etwas über die Fensterplatte 20 nach innen vor. Dadurch bietet sie einen Schutz gegen eine Kollision eines Kabels mit dem Fenster 20.In FIG. 11 the sleeve-shaped portion of the flange 34 is surrounded by one of the annular body 64 which is suitably connected (not shown) to the pressure tube. The ring body 64 stands, as in FIG. 11 clearly to see something about the window plate 20 inwards. As a result, it provides protection against a collision of a cable with the window 20.

Der Ringkörper 64 ist mit einem Kühlkanal 66 versehen, durch den Wasser als Kühlmittel strömen kann.The ring body 64 is provided with a cooling channel 66, through which water can flow as coolant.
